Border Patrol Chief Defends Agents' Handling In Child Deaths

Description

Reuters reports The U.S. Customs and Border Protection chief defended his agents’ handling of two sick children who died in their custody, saying they did everything they could to get medical help for them in difficult circumstances. CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said it had been a decade since a child had died in the agency’s custody and that the loss of two Guatemalan children in three weeks was “just absolutely devastating for us on every level.” He said: "Our agents did everything they could, as soon as these children manifested symptoms of illness, to save their lives."
